“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly,” Cohen told the New York Times.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, believes Cohen’s admission that he paid her amounts to a breach of their contract and frees her from “further performance of the non-disclosure agreement” between the parties, the website said.

Cohen, according to reports, is shopping a book about the Trump campaign and presidency that is expected to cover his role in the “unfortunate saga” involving Daniels.

In an interview she gave to In Touch magazine five years before she was paid and published after the payment became public, Daniels said she had an affair with Trump after meeting him at a 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.

The alleged tryst happened one year after he married Melania Trump and just months after his son Barron was born.
